Answer:

The answer is 28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two sevenths of the height of a sailboats tallest mast is 8 feet, we keep adding two sevenths until we get its tallest mast.

2/7 = 8 ft

4/7 = 16 ft

6/7 = 24 ft

(Adding 1/7 which is 4 feet)

we get 7/7 = 28 ft

Solve each of the following for the indicated variable.a. 9 − 6 = 54 for yb. = 2 + 2 for l

marta [7]

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equations, we need to isolate the variable asked using inverse operations to solve equations.

Remember that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as multiplication and division.

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} a\text{. Solve for y} \\ 6y=9x-54 \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-\frac{54}{6} \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} b\text{. Solve for l} \\ P=2l+2w \\ 2l=P-2w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-\frac{2}{2}w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$
